Advocacy Army - Day 2
The Graduate Columbus, 750 N. High Street, Columbus OH 43215
More than ever, OPRA Members are willing to commit their time and resources to advocate with their state and federal elected officials for their services, their staff, and the people they support. In order to capitalize on the Membership's energy, OPRA developed Advocacy Army to arm providers, families, and Ohioans with I/DD with the skills and knowledge of how to be effective legislative advocates.
The curriculum combines lectures from the OPRA team, active learning exercises, and presentations from system partners. Click here to learn more information
